Abstract

As a new type organic pollutants, perfluorinated compounds(PFCs) have been focused all over the world.Perfluorooctanoic acid(PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate(PFOS) are the most prominent substances among them. Because of strong persistence and potential bioaccumulation, many studies have demonstrated that PFCs can result in environmental pollution and pose a great threat to human health. Therefore, the efficient degradation or removal of PFCs has become a hotspot recently. In this paper, we have summarized innovation degradation technologies with the purpose of providing reference for further related researches.
